Duathlon event dates confirmed

Dear Athletes,

The wait is over! We are very pleased to confirm that the Duathlon ORIGIN will take place on 24-25 April 2021. 

Our biggest disappointment with this date is that it falls during Ramadan. We understand the implications of this, and we are very sorry that an alternative date couldn’t be secured. In consideration of our Muslim community, we have specially designed the race schedule to facilitate Muslim athletes completing their event during pre-sunrise and post-sunset hours. We will share more information about these times next week.

In order to gain approval from the relevant government agencies, we were required to amend some aspects of the event. The key changes are:

• The duration is extended to two days instead of one. 
• There is a new schedule with new wave start times. 
• The format is now bike-run. View the new distances and course here.

Please note that there will be a race kit collection held from 22-24 April through Decathlon stores. 

Important additional information will be shared on Monday, 12 April including:

• New event schedule 
• Time slot booking information (Sprint and Discovery athletes only)
• Information about race kit collection at Decathlon, with instructions to select a store to collect your kit from.

We had to make some compromises to allow the event to happen, some of which  are not ideal. This said, we are excited to have the green light to go ahead, and we sincerely hope that you are ready to enjoy having multisport events back in Singapore. 

We realise the new dates may be inconvenient to you. If you can no longer join us at the Duathlon ORIGIN, please let us know by completing the form here by 14 April. No requests over email will be taken into consideration. We will not be in a position to offer refunds but we will look at what we can do for you. 

We look forward to seeing you at the start line.

The Team at MetaSport
